Toro Rosso drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat have stated they are satisfied after qualifying eleventh and thirteenth respectively for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix.

Earlier today it was announced that Daniil Kvyat would be the replace the departing Sebastian Vettel who is rumoured to be joining Ferrari for 2015. Jean-Eric Vergne however is without a seat for 2015.

After only completing three laps in FP3, Vergne was pleased with his performance at a difficult circuit such as Suzuka

“I’m really satisfied with my Qualifying today, especially considering how the weekend had gone so far for me. I didn’t drive FP1, I had two technical issues in FP2 which shortened my running time, I could complete only 3 laps in FP3 this morning. However, the team was able to set up the car in time for Qualifying and I managed to do my job well this afternoon on a difficult track like Suzuka.

”It ‘s an extremely good job from the whole team, something to be pleased about. The race is tomorrow and anything can happen, even starting from the back of the grid.”

Kvyat was pleased with qualifying however admitted he could have done even better.

”As for Qualifying today, I’m happy with our general performance, but we could have done better. Q1 was fine, but in Q2, my last flying lap was disrupted by some slower cars in front of me. When I arrived in Turn 1, my tyres were not up to temperature and so the lap was compromised, as getting into a rhythm is very important here. But still, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race, whatever the weather may be!”
